This seems like a original source. Why don't we move and rename this page. I dont think there will be I-605 in WA. --LAFreeways (Conf) 20:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the SeaTimes citations farther down the articleestablish that there was such a proposal as I-605. But the style of this article is very weird in that the assertion of the existence of the subject in the lead is unsubstantiated. The assertion in the lead is only backed up indirectly, but the burden shouldn't be on the reader to sort through citations that are not clearly relevant; far better would be to cite the article as evidence of the existence of such an idea as I-605.

I tried briefly to fix it myself but didn't care enough to learn the details of the new editor, and I don't see how to switch it to simple markup so I can copy/paste. - PhilipR (talk) 04:09, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The infobox for this article makes it appear that this freeway exists. Could this be revised to make it clear that it isn't built? Is there an infobox for proposed, never built freeways? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.212.4.53 (talk) 04:40, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Washington State Department of Transportation has no projects designated I-605, however a project converting Washington State Route 18 to a full limited-access freeway is nearing completion, which is south and east of both I-5 and I-405. - run-on
Proposals - Some of the first plans for a new interstate freeway, bypassing I-405 surfaced in 1968, - the commas make this really hard to read. Try adding one after I-405.
I'm tempted to delete all mention of highway 18's improvements. Certainly highway 18 has been part of some 605 proposal, but, more importantly, highway 18 is not 605, and in no way serves the function 605 was intended to. As a matter of fact, if 18 was made an interstate, it would probably be called 490. If the highway 18 stuff is gone, you know why. D O N D E groovilyTalk to me 00:16, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A couple comments, but if State Route 18 is connected to proposals surrounding I-605, then it should stay. Second, but in Washington, they're State Routes, not Highways, so it kinda makes you look slightly less than knowledgeable when you use the wrong terminology. I've restored stuff you removed from the article, and honestly, you need a source that states that WSDOT has cancelled the highway, otherwise, we will assume that there are still proposals floating around out there with the same level of possibility as the article states.

Why list this as proposed? There has been no action on this in over a decade, and unlike SR 168 and others, it is not legally defined as a state highway. I suggest, for the sake of templates, we change the category to unbuilt. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:16, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
